Conveyor belt sushi options have gone down in recent times. Was certainly better in years prior. Still have options to order and request plates, which is still great but smaller sized portions means more frequent orders. Some sushi plates keep going over and over and seem less appetizing as time goes by. Service has always been great, from cooks to servers. Great atmosphere, sushi chefs are very engaging and have fun with th crowd. read more

Been living in gardena for so long and I've been coming here as a regular sushi spot. The quality has been consistent and delicious and the service has been too. The ambiance and small and intimate so expect to wait long on weekends and dinners. read more

I just dont know how to describe this place to be honest. When you walk in, you see families eating and enjoying their time, however, the check in process is sign a list at the door. The waitresses seem to give spaces to people as they see fit, not you. (That was something I saw while in line) Once I sat down, the set up / setting / plates were homely. I thought it would be more fancy and the food items my EYEpealing but when you see the same thing go around. . . You get your normal selection (safe order) and drink Which is what I did: Yellowtail Albacore Bacon wrapped shrimp Salmon Sushi and a sake bomb (maybe many sakes) It must have been a special price because i ordered more drinks then food. I only liked the bacon wrapped shrimp and maybe some sushi pieces. I decided, I wasnt going to visit again read more

Revolving Sushi bars are always a fun experience :) Sushi obviously wasn't the highest quality and it was sort of expensive, but we liked everything and had a lot of fun picking which sushi to eat. We got 5 plates (20 pieces of sushi) plus miso soup totaling about $30 pre-tax. Pretty good service, plaza parking. read more

Sushi Sumo - Sushi Bars Near Me - Gardena, California

Sushi Sumo is one of my favorite sushi spots. The downside is, they close their restaurant from 2-5 and have obviously caused for me to go elsewhere. read more

This is a no frills, local conveyor belt sushi joint. Prices are reasonable and the service is good. I recommend sitting at the bar so you can tell the sushi chef to make something for you if you don't see it on the conveyor belt. read more

This place was terrible. The food was atrocious. Everything was dry and old. Even the rice was hard. We've had plenty of bad sushi before, but this place serves the worst one hands down. Unsurprisingly, this place also gave us food poisoning. My wife is not the one to normally complain but now the words "Sushi" and "Sumo" are forever tainted in our eyes. read more

Sushi Sumo - Mexican Roll Dragon Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Gardena, California

Please Yelp...why don't 0 stars as an option? This place is not bad...it's horrendous!!!! We were accosted by the manager. He grabbed us and began screaming in front of customers. My wife suffered an allergic reaction to their FAKE lobster roll that they claim on the menu is real. Such a scam...at what cost do customers have to suffer? At no time did the management ask if we were okay or offer any assistance whatsoever. I've seen better treatment in prisons, how does the city allow this place to operate...for shame!!! read more

The food was great the service was as expected with a busy restaurant, the mido was chill and the staff and customers were all very pleasant. read more

As usual Sushi Sumo does not disappoint. Theyve adjusted for COVID protocol and have in person dining - it looks like outdoor only. Hubs and I ordered a ton of food, and it was all good. I really liked my Red Snapper sashimi....tender and flavorful and reasonable. Also got the plum wine, and for Friday night, that cant be beat. Enjoy! And support local! read more

The conveyor belt is great to show off to visitors. If you sit at the bar don't be afraid to speak up if you want something not on the belt made for you. The gentlemen there make the takeout orders, the dining top orders and the items on the belt. Recommend the big dog roll for that eel goodness and the 911 roll read more

I ordered my favorite, uni. The chefs said it's fresh. But I almost cried..... I'm really picky about sushi and it wasn't fresh, I think it's been there at least for few days ... uni isn't cheap and I was really disappointed sorry I don't like to be negative but I just want to share about my experiences read more

The food was MAGNIFICENT! All the sushi was so good I could've eaten it every single day. There were so many options and all of them were good! The service was excellent as well! They checked on us when we needed and the chefs that work in the middle area were so friendly and would make you any kind of roll that you want. All the people that worked there were welcoming and I don't know how people are saying that they were rushed or anything like that. The walls were covered in fun pictures of customers and the conveyor belt was so cool and different! I absolutely love this place! read more

Popped in here for dinner and got seated pretty quickly. Such a cute space and seemed well-loved by customers. Plates have different price ranges that and all were delicious. Recommend: whatever you like honestly but the amaebi (sweet shrimp) was an awesome surprise. read more

I've been coming here for years now and let me tell you I love this place the atmosphere and the ambience about this place just makes you feel so comfortable every one here is so cool and friendly especially the cooks they ROCK lol they make everything related to sushi rolls and If you don't see what you like you can ask them and they'll make it for you just make sure you fill up their cup with beer lol they love to drink witch I'm cool with that since I love drinking beer also & even though you don't have to give them beer because that's part of their job but I feel like they hook you up more when you take care of them especially if they tell you cheers fill their cups up trust me after that they'll make any rolls you want so If your in the area and want some good Sushi and cold beer i definitely recommend this place read more

The place has been around for quite some time and it's kinda easy to see why. Great date night spot. Even though the service is kinda hit or miss-- sometimes top notch, sometimes not so much. But the food has never let us down and that's what matters. read more

We've been coming here for a decade. It used to be really upbeat and loud but it's calmed down a lot. It's still guaranteed delicious. Our favorite rolls: Hot Night Superman Dynamite Sides: Jalapeño Poppers Veggie Tempura Grab a seat at the sushi bar if you're kid free. read more

Decided tonight we should try something out of the norm and ended up ordering some sushi. Still relatively new to Gardena, we wanted to support local business and hit up Sushi Sumo. We were amazed by the quality of the food considering the cost co spidering all we ordered. Most of places I go the order showcased in the photos would of been closer to $100. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Definitely will hit up this spot again. read more

Checked out this place because of the high rating. There was a little of a wait time, which is expected. Waited about 45 minutes for a table. We ordered a bunch of sushi for sharing which everything was good. Friendly and attentive staff. read more

Whoever answers your phone is extremely rude. Been coming here for years and a simple question of how long is the wait results in a hang up. Called twice in a row and same result. Not coming back here ever! read more

Absolutely amazing restaurant. If you can't find any good sushi places then you must go here. A conveyor belt carries food to the bar area and gives you some of the best sushi that you will ever have. The servers are the funniest, kindest, and quick people you will ever meet. This restaurant is just a great experience for everyone no matter their age. read more

I love the conveyer belt it had so many foods The sand tizer was so good it's very good read more

I recently visited this old hangout of mine since the 90's. It was shocking. The beer mug was cracked and nearly cut mr lip. I informed the manager. Her attitude was like so what? I witnessed a rejected order by another table customer being recycled into 2 other plates on their Kaiten belt. Don't eat here. Go to Kura sushi. read more

I tried the scallop sushi roll and I really enjoyed it. I also tried to fried chicken appetizer which was good as expected. The place was super packed but it was only packed for the bar area since that is where the revolving sushi is. However, the tables had no wait. Also be aware that parking is so hard to find! I had to find street parking because the lot was full with no signs of anyone leaving since everyone was outside waiting. I wouldn't wait again. read more

Literally my favorite spot to come get sushi. The service is always amazing and the workers are always kind and funny. It always has a nice vibe. Although we were there they had a terrible person mistreating all the workers when they tried to accommodate her and she was just rude for no reason. Definitely recommend this place sushi is always good! read more

Gave me food poisoning. Avoid at all cost! In the hospital currently. Saw the same rolls going around and around the entire time I was there. You don't know how long these rolls have been out. read more

Amazing authentic sushi. Would give 6 stars if I could. Love the scenery and the kind employees. Once you walk into sushi sumo it's a vibe great people great food great music things that actually wanna watch on the TV. Gotta love that they have beer I could never go wrong at sushi sumo ever since I found it I go minimum 2 times a week. I purposely dont eat for the day just to eat here. Don't forget to alway tip your chefs. I got so much greatness to say about sushi sumo but it's just a great experience if you try it yourself. Love sushi sumo‍. read more

Edamame was great! Perfect temperature, they came out salted just the way we like it! The sushi rolls were not fresh tasting! I won't be back. The crunchy tempura roll was definitely not fresh, the seaweed tasted stale. The Philadelphia role was okay. Nothing to write home about. My nephew ate 14 sushi's! He enjoyed each and every one of them. MINI size Mochi's, sliced in 4. Smaller than I've EVER seen before! We had to order like 6 Mochi's. They should seriously consider upgrading to the normal size offered by other restaurants. Customer service was friendly. In spite of the long line, our party of 3 was quickly seated at the tables! read more

Sushi sumo has the BEST and freshest sushi ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The ambience never ever disappoints since the Itamae's are so interactive with the customers sitting at the conveyor belt. The historic walls with customer pictures just shows how much of a gem this restaurant is. This will forever be our go-to sushi spot! If you are ever in the area, or are looking for a new sushi spot, 10/10 try Sushi Sumo!!!!! read more

Sushi Sumo? Sure, why not. Standard, mid-range sushi. I liked the Pearl Roll, Which has lots of scallops inside and salmon on top. If you're looking for lots of tuna, the Red Dragon has your name on it. The Chirashi bowl is okay, fresh enough fish on sushi rice. It comes with miso soup and salad so you get a whole lunch. Mid-range casual, conveyer-belt cuisine, fun for done-in, okay for takeout. It's fine for a casual night, a moderate meal for a sushi craving. read more
